Life does not exist among greed or possessions, it lives among the relationships you build, within the people you love. The things we accumulate in this life should never dictate your thoughts and actions, that’s the heart’s job.

While it seems that the law of the land has become paralyzed and perverted, we must not lose hope. For everyone will one day have to stand and be judged before God. Some folks are in for a very rude awakening.

For a so called ‘Christian nation’ run by ‘Christian’ leaders, they sure don’t pay much attention to the book they demand we live by.

When truth and righteousness prevail it brings out joy among the people. But when evil rules, there is a heaviness in the air, despair prevails. That’s why it’s said that laughter, happiness, joy are all acts of rebellion during times of oppression.

Knowledge without the wisdom on how to apply that knowledge is worthless. It’s not about just what we know, but how we apply that to our lives that matters. Use both to make the world around you a better place.

Living in love, being kind, doing good, are all daily choices we each consciously make. We can change if we want to. Living in anger, living in hate, being cruel are all choices. This verse remind us that a person doesn’t have to live in darkness.

Committing violent acts may make one feel strong and victorious at the time, buy ultimately it will catch up to you. You can’t have that much hate and anger in your heart and not have it eat away at your soul, your being. Eventually, justice, and God, will find and judge you.

Why continue putting faith into someone who has proved over and over again to be unreliable? Trusting an unstable person just leads to continual disappointment and pain.

Forgiveness is hard. Probably one of the hardest things as Christians we are asked to do. Revenge doesn’t even the playing field when you’ve been hurt, but forgiveness and love can.

When spiritual leadership joins with corrupt politics we find a troubling disconnect. They may think they’re protected by God, but that’s just lies. When church leadership becomes corrupt, when judges become corrupt, when the truth tellers tell lies, you lose the soul of the nation.

Folks, God has something to say about bribery. And false promises. Hint: He ain’t too fond of either.

The bible reminds us that a person in a vulnerable state does not give you their consent to be abused. Being poor is not consent. Being drunk is not consent. Being high is not consent. Being autistic is not consent. Do what is right. Rescue and the abused, not the abuser.

The Bible tells us we are to show respect for our elders, not take advantage of them. They have wisdom and years of living behind them, but when they become sick, frail and weak is not the time to parade them around, forcing them to perform for your benefit.

It’s important that we show who we are not only with our words but by our actions. The world is watching. Whether testifying in front of Congress or teaching a group of kindergartners, speaking truth and retaining your integrity matter.

In today’s society of self promotion and branding, Christians are challenged to set that aside and instead focus on serving others. The narcissist thinks only about themselves, the true believer puts others needs ahead of their own.

Ahhhhh, the discontent of materialism. ‘If I just had more I’d be happy. If I just had this I’d be satisfied.’ But we never are, because contentment, true happiness, comes from relationships and from love, never from greed or vanity.

Just calling yourself a Christian or attending church is not enough according to the Bible. The church, your congregation, you personally, are all expected to reflect and project the love into the world that comes from knowing Jesus.
